Yesterday at noon my Mom picked up Cody! He left the orphanage dressed in a special outfit Mom had got for him in the US; a red Elmo shirt, jeans, and light-up Sesame Street sneakers (Logan's outfit is identical except for his shirt is blue and Cookie Monster :) )! Mom said he loved the sneakers and riding in the stroller to go to the bank. She had set up a play area for him at the apartment and he ran around playing with the toys. He cuddled up to a stuffed puppy for awhile and watched "Signing Time" videos on the computer. He also talked to me on the phone! He played with the buttons, tried talking... and then hung up on me! :)
He got a little nervous during bathtime and when it became dark out but he still wasn't going back to the orphanage. He didn't cry but only holds the back of his hand up to his mouth when he's scared Mom says.
It was late and he wasn't going to sleep so Mom pretended she was asleep on the sofa and, after a little while, he came over and poked her with a book twice. When she didn't respond he pinched her. She still didn't respond so he went over to the bed and flopped down. He finally fell asleep between 10-11 pm.
Mom is really excited to reunite the two boys next Tuesday! Cody's passport is ready but being held until Logan's is ready also. Hopefully we'll see them home on the 19th (Just in time for the former baby of family's senior prom!).

This is DeeDee. I had KT smuggle me into this so that I could leave you a loving comment. Lin, what you and your family are doing is beyond words. You serve as a model standard to all of us and how we should be with our lives. Lin,you are wonderful. I pray for only the best for all of you. Make it back safe. I will be glad to come and help out with whatever it is you can delegate me to do (I have some new found time on my hands). Your pictures and frequently updated blog spot is great!. If there is a general password that I can have to leave you a message, let KT know and she will get the message to me. Lots of Love, DeeDee

Thanks so much for the update, I have been watching for one. That is so exciting that Cody is there and Logan will soon follow and get out of that place. I can't wait to see both of them home with their families. This has been a very long journey!
